Abstract
The Datura stramonium shrub is widely distributed in Asia, Africa, and the Americas. The fact that it has spherical, prickly fruit (and is, therefore, also known as thorn apple) that resembles SARS-CoV-2 with its spike protein is only a coincidence. There is no evidence to suggest that the plant or any of its parts have antiviral properties.
